Question 1

Why did the Balwin Foundation change its name?

Accepted Answer

Our work has grown far beyond housing developments, into education, sport and community upliftment at national scale. Beyond Bricks Foundation reflects that broader purpose. It's the same foundation, the same team and the same commitment, under a name that tells the fuller story.

Question 2

Are my existing Section 18A certificates and NPO details still valid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While the legal name change and related compliance updates are being finalised, existing NPO, PBO and Section 18A details remain in place under Balwin Foundation. All donor, governance and reporting processes continue through the same Foundation structure.

Question 3

How do I get a Section 18A certificate for my donation?

Accepted Answer

Email your proof of payment and donor details to info@beyondbricks.co.za and our team will issue your certificate.

Question 4

Does partnering with the Foundation count towards B-BBEE?

Accepted Answer

Socio-economic development (SED) contributions to the Foundation can be structured for B-BBEE scorecard recognition. Speak to us about structuring your contribution and the supporting documentation we provide.

Question 5

How will I know what my donation achieved?

Accepted Answer

We provide measurable, donor-ready reporting across our programmes, from swimmers taught and meals provided to bursaries awarded. Corporate partners receive structured impact reports aligned to CSI, ESG and SDG frameworks.

Question 6

Can my company volunteer rather than donate?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. More than 200 corporate volunteer partners already work with us on Mandela Day, Back2School, Winter Warmth and other campaigns. Get in touch and select volunteering as your area of interest.
